Total Gem!
This was our 3rd stay at the Dairy Cottage which never fails to impress! We always stay for New Year's providing a lovely escape from the City, with it's cosy rustic interior and lovely walks on the doorstep. The Cottage is very well equipped, a proper home from home. Clare and her family are so welcoming and accommodating, cannot speak highly enough of them Looking forward to the 4th visit!

Superb, clean, welcoming home. Loved the conversions. The only drawback is anyone in bed and anyone upstairs can easily disturb others in bed downstairs, but in order to keep the charm of this place i couldn't see a better way to layout the rooms. Still loved this place.

Cosy Cottage
The property was a beautifully converted milking parlour, with lots of decor reflecting its previous incarnation. Surrounded by gorgeous countryside with a lovely view from the sitting room. The furnishings were comfortable and kitchen well equipped, though could do with more mugs and glasses.

Great place with real character
My young family (and our dog) loved our stay at this beautiful cottage. It was really spacious for a family of four (+dog), yet also full of character. The enclosed outside space was huge, and our Hungarian Vizsla dog loved running around the garden and horse paddock. It's a great spot from which to explore too - we went on lots of lovely countryside walks from our doorstep. We had a wonderful stay!

Amazing stay!
We so enjoyed our stay at this beautiful dairy property. It was such a wonderful break in the English countryside, the area was stunning and we loved exploring it. The host, Clare, was extremely friendly and helpful, she made us feel right at home and helped us with what we needed. Check in was very simple, the property was very clean, and everything was as promised in the property profile. I came with 15 and 17 year old teens for a tour of Europe and this was their favourite stop. We were visiting friends in the area and I didn’t even want to leave it to go and visit ;). Thank you so much, Clare. We highly recommend this property and hope we can come back!!

Character Cottage
I had a long weekend stay visiting family in the area. The Dairy was a delightful base to stay - deep in the countryside as part of a group of farm properties with cattle and horses in the nearby fields. Being fairly high up there are wonderful views of the surrounding countryside and it is very quiet and peaceful. The Dairy had everything I needed of a good standard. Clare was very helpful and responded quickly to all communications. I really enjoyed my stay at the Dairy and recommend it for a solo or small group stay.

Lovely property, gorgeous scenery!
My husband, 2 kids, and I stayed here during our Staffordshire leg of our UK trip. The countryside is stunning! The views from the cottage are awesome. My 8 year-old loved all the animals. The cottage was clean and well-decorated. The host is welcoming and communicative. I would be happy to stay here again!

Excellent stay!
This is a fantastic property, we thought slightly undersold in the listing if anything! The view from the lounge window was stunning, and the quality of the finishes overall was really good and made for a comfortable stay. We hadn't seen that there was an ensuite bathroom so that was a bonus. Little touches like the fairy lights, great kitchen equipment and washing machine were great. The fit of the skirting boards against the dishwasher meant this couldn't properly be opened, so we didn't use it - but this didn't detract from our stay.

Escape to the Country!
The Cottage was the perfect base for us as we visited family in the area for a week. The house was clean, comfortable and as well appointed as you could hope for and just a great place to relax at the end of each day. Its a little off the beaten track, so it really did feel like an escape - so very quiet and away from it all, with a great view across the countryside. We will definitely be booking again for future visits to family who live in this part of the world. Clare was a fantastic host - thank you for letting us stay at the Cottage. It really is a superb place!

From the minute you drive down the country lanes you are transported to an idyllic location. What a fabulous property, with everything you need for a comfortable stay. The views from the sitting room were stunning, I watched the sun rising from over the hills and it felt like I was in a painting! I cannot recommend highly enough, thank you for a great stay

Beautiful property
The diary is an absolutely stunning property with everything you could possibly need, the photos do not do the dairy justice, we had a problem with the dvd not working I popped over to Claire she came to have a look, and it seemed it had broken, she got a new one for us the next day, the dairy was also decorated for Christmas which was lovely. The bed was also so comfy and view from the window was just beautiful. I would definitely recommend the dairy the heating system kept us lovely and warm as well Thank you Claire

Weekend visiting Family
Very comfortable and well finished, with everything you need on hand. Bed comfortable and very peaceful location. We used it as a base to visit family in the area and it was great. If you're not used to narrow lanes beware! fortunately we knew the area well but the roads could be challenging in bad weather.

Close to wedding venue
Chose this property as it was close to a local wedding venue. Set in a beautiful location with idyllic views of the Staffordshire countryside, this is the property’s biggest selling point. The cottage served our needs (4 adults) but we did encounter a number of issues. The cottage was extremely hot (it was a very hot weekend) and we found it difficult to sleep as the bedroom windows did not open. There were a lot of flies in the property, this was probably due to the nearby cowsheds. The TV in the main bedroom did not work. The biggest issue is the bathrooms, the showers had either freezing cold or scalding hot water, it was impossible to get a suitable mix of both which is unacceptable. The kitchen was well appointed, the beds contained only 1 pillow per person with no spares on offer. Overall, for the price the property was OK, but we did feel disappointed and would not return.
